Unlike the other metal artwork pieces featured so far, which were singular designs, this piece is a four-item set of wall panels. The design capitalizes on the increasing demand on Tuscany-inspired interior design and decorative elements. They come in natural shades of brown – color does not overpower the delicately intricate design, but helps the artistry of the metalwork stand out.

This piece is truly majestic and features the oak, nature’s most exalted tree, which symbolizes enduring strength and courage. The tree’s entire cycle of life is featured, from seed to leaf to acorn. The piece’s surface reflects light, and since the design is substantial in size, it will be a dramatic addition to any room, be it a bedroom, a dining room or a day area.

Use it to adorn your music or media room if you have one, but don’t shy away from hanging it up on any wall in your home or office.

8. Mighty Oak

Featuring natural colors, brown and black, the majestic, massive and mighty oak tree is likely to impress anyone who walks in through the door to your day area or dining room.

Each two-by-three foot three is entirely unique.
